Vinegar is the key to whiter whites and softer towels, but most people use it wrong. Here's how to use it right

Advice

To use vinegar in the washing machine
1. To get whiter whites: While the machine is in the rinse cycle, pour in a cup of distilled white vinegar. This will give the vinegar a chance to dissolve any remaining residue or stains, resulting in whiter teeth.
2. To make towels softer, add half a cup of vinegar to your washing machine's rinse cycle. This helps restore fluffiness and breaks down residue.
3. Remove stains: Apply a mixture of vinegar and water to the fabric before washing to remove very set-in stains.
4. Remove mildew: Soak towels in a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar to remove mildew. Then, wash them normally.
If you follow these simple instructions, you won't even need to use chemical-laden commercial solutions to get the best wash results. You can get brighter whites and softer towels by using vinegar, and it's cheap, eco-friendly, and effective. If you want to notice a difference, try adding it to your laundry routine.
